Lord of the Rings Online Hands on

"Warcraft is just hack and slay!" spits one contemptuous dwarven champion over the chat in Northern Ered Dur, just south of Thorin's Hall. And that's the general reaction here - this does have something more to offer than Blizzard's all-conquering MMO, or at least it holds its own play-wise, with the Tolkien theme an added bonus. But then we must remember this is a bunch of people who've chosen to devote dozens of hours of their lives testing a game, for free, just to say they've been there. The reality? The lord of the ringsOnline is good - really good, in fact.
Now, i wouldnt put it over World of Warcraft yet but get a couple of million paying subscribers, polish up the game and add more content and maybe just maybe the power of the Ring can stand up to the mighty WoW.
